funny story...
my friend and I were playing yellow car"-- its like slug bug but you hit them when you see a yellow car and we drove past a bus depot and our fists collided and i heard a loud snao/pop/crunch noise and it looked like my nuckle went in a little... i couldn't make a fist or straighten it completely
when this guy was checking out my finger we all thought it was dislocated so he was gonna pop it back it but when he took my finger to do it he stops and says "dude, im not messing with that, feel it"
my mom is a nurse so she isnt taking me for an x-ray because she said they wouldnt do anything different if it was broken my worry is that its broken in 2 places because when the guy felt it he was feeling it off of the joint but my knuckle still looks weird and hurts

Mom could be wrong. I have a broken finger, waited two weeks before I went to the doctor, because I was'nt sure. Mine started to heal incorrectly which is very bad news and could led to arthritis and a deformed looking finger. You need to get a x-ray and a splint on it right away! Go Now!

wow, if your mom's a nurse, she would or should know that there is a lot can be done for a broken finger, correct splinting, pain relief, are a few, not to mention checking to make sure that tendons weren't damaged and helping you to regain full range of motion of your finger. If she has addressed all these issues, then she's right, if she hasn't......well, you might want to take yourself down to the local doctor and have him assess it for you.

they'll maximum possibly strap your middle finger to a neighbouring finger, to furnish it some help. in the event that they're putting a forged on it, it is going to possibly be a kinda plastic/metallic 'tube' which will slip on on your middle finger and neighbouring one to guard it from getting knocked.
